Where are all the funny girls, with their dreams and their tired shoes?
Diving for touchdowns and validation on the nightly news
So pardon the excuse, “These things they come out when I open my mouth”
That’s the line I always use
Is it good enough for you?
Come so far, still feel heavy
Is this how it’s supposed to be?
Weighed down from last impressions of things I’ve never seen
Tongue escaped the cat
The spider stayed up the spout
And we remained in the living room
While fire swallowed the house
The future’s always in doubt
Why would we put this fire out?
Come so far, still feel heavy
Is this how it’s supposed to be?
Weighed down from last impressions of things I’ve never seen
Where are all the funny girls, with their dreams and their tired shoes?
Diving for touchdowns and validation on the nightly news
So pardon the excuse
Come so far, still feel heavy
Is this how it’s supposed to be?
Weighed down from last impressions of things I’ve never seen
